Use ‘Dead Time’NOT Productive Time

People can be trained while they’re on the bus, on the way to work, on the shop-floor, waiting for a meeting to start…HandyTrain uses the ‘dead time’. No more herding people into training rooms or hotel rooms and eating into productive work-days.

Contentthat is Alive!

Content on HandyTrain isn’t in the form of long pages of text and mind-numbing slideshows. It is in the form of bite-sized, easy to digest modules, often accompanied with videos to aid retention.

Measurability through Dashboards

HandyTrain provides trainers with detailed dashboards that cover metrics like top and bottom performers, time being spent on training, scores that quantify how much is learnt, who needs to undergo training again…
